I'm currently making my own OS and i test it in VitualBox, and it mostly works, but when i test it in PCem and copy.sh vm's it just constantly crashes for some reason. Can anyone explain why that happens? I just want to get some feedback so that i can improve my code

How can anyone explain what is happening without seeing any of your code?

I probably phrased my question horribly, what I meant was, what is there to be aware of when testing on different VMs, like important differences

As Mike said, you need to share your code/process.

If you are running in VirtualBox and it is fine, and it crashes in PCem, the chances are it's one of the bugs existing in that project: https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem/issues?q=crash

If VirtualBox works then why not stick to that? You can setup Vagrant to manage your images and disks for you too.

And there's always... y'know... Hardware.

Yes but they are all emulating x86 IBM pc compatibles, I mean all the VMs are
